asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the capital expenditure allocated for the raising of the school leaving age in 1971 and 1972; and what further capital expenditure is to be made.

Mr. Peter Thomas

In the three-year period 1970–71 to 1972–73, £12.5 million at current prices was allocated to enable local education authorities to meet the accommodation needs arising from the new school leaving age. No further allocation is proposed.
